I'm glad I don't live there. I live about 2 1/2 to 3 hours away from where they hit I think. I don't really know the exact place that they hit so it's just an estimate.

It really is crazy how it'll miss one house, but destroy the one right across the street from it.

OMG, we had a tornado my senior year. It didn't technically touch down until it was 20 minutes away from here, but it almost touched down right across the street from my house. It actually came down and literally picked the roof off of the store across the street like a lid on a tupperware container and flipped it upside down into the parking lot. It's a good thing noe one was parked there or that it didn't flip it to a side where there was a house. That was the only damage that it did on my street, except for a little wind and rain damage. It took awhile to clean up the mess on the street, but a mess is better that a catastrophe.

My brother and his fiance live near where they hit. My mother was freaking out when it happened. :/

Ah. I lived in Richmond for a while, and then later NoVa. So nowhere near anyone I know.

My brother was actually working near the mall that had the cars on top of other cars, but he left before any warnings came out. He got home about 10 minutes after they hit. We live far enough away that he was about 2 hours or more away from it by that time.
